Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for a distributed manufacturing plant that allows direct, economical production of transportation fuels and/or chemicals at remote sites is described. The production plant employs two primary integrated systems consisting of a syngas generator and a catalytic process that are used to directly produce fuels and chemicals. The syngas generator utilizes oxygen anions, produced from a ceramic membrane system, to generate high quality syngas directly at pressures of about 100-600 psia. The tail gas and water containing hydroxyl-alkanes from the catalytic process are recycled into the syngas generator, in automatically controlled proportions, to regulate the hydrogen to carbon monoxide within the preferred H2/CO stoichiometric range of about 1.8-2.4. The primary products produced directly from the plant include reformulated gasoline blendstocks, #1 diesel fuels, and #2 diesel fuels.
